Reports: Aides Discussing Possible Mugabe Exit

Zimbabwe's main opposition party has retained a slight lead over the ruling ZANU-PF party in the official count from parliamentary elections Saturday.

The latest results show the opposition Movement for Democratic Change winning 67 seats in all, 62 for the main party and five for a breakaway faction. ZANU-PF trails slightly with 64 seats.

Zimbabwe's electoral commission has still not released any results from the presidential election held the same day, fueling fears of election rigging.

The MDC has said its leader and presidential candidate Morgan Tsvangirai is running well ahead of President Robert Mugabe in that contest.

The Zimbabwe Election Support Network, a coalition of local civil society groups that monitored the vote, says its own projection shows Mr. Tsvangirai winning but falling just short of the majority he needs to avoid a run-off.
